The classic fantasy art book 'Faeries' by Brian Froud and Alan Lee was a childhood favorite for me, and I like to show this book to my students whenever I am teaching fantasy art. Since there is a great deal of interest in this genre locally, and many students tell me that they weren't sure where to get started with drawing out their ideas, here is a quick tutorial where I will re-draw one of my favorite mythical characters, the Merrow -- or perhaps more aptly, the evil mermaid -- as shown here in a sketch by Alan Lee.
